Musnad Abi Ya'la 378 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched a small
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا وَيُطِيعُوا ، فَأَغْضَبُوهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ : اجْمَعُوا لِي حَطَبًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَوْقِدُوا ، فَأَوْقَدُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَلَمْ يَأْمُرْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا وَتُطِيعُوا ؟ قَالَ : فَادْخُلُوهَا ، فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، وَقَالُوا : إِنَّمَا فَرَرْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَكَانُوا كَذَلِكَ ، فَسَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ وَطُفِئَتِ النَّارُ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا مَا خَرَجُوا مِنْهَا أَبَدًا ، إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched a small force (sariyyah), appointed a man from the Ansar as its commander, and ordered them to listen to their commander and obey. Then (during the journey) they angered the commander over something, and he said: "Gather firewood for me." Then he said: "Light a fire," so they lit a fire. Then he said: "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not order you to listen to me and obey?" He said: "Then enter this fire." On hearing this they began to look at one another and said: "We fled to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) precisely to escape from the fire." They were in this state when the commander's anger cooled down and the fire went out. Then, when those people returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the incident to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had they entered it, they would never have come out of it. Obedience is only in what is ma'ruf (right and good)."
